the greatest of secrets…
… I have found reside in the people around me.
Sunday I saw a group of people at a Street Party that captured my eye, would not let go. They kindly welcomed me into the circle for a few to photograph them. Brief introductions, some laughter, conversation about what their 8 days in Houston had been like and then some photographs.
Beauty like I encountered below inspires me to want to grow in my craft of photography, seek the stories out that are not being told and share the beauty we often miss.
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Sit and Bleed
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

When Your Mind’s Made Up
-The Swell Season-
So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I’ll come running
To fight, and I’ll be at your door
When there’s nothing worth running for
When your mind’s made up
When your mind’s made up
There’s no point trying to change it
When your mind’s made up
When your mind’s made up
There’s no point trying to stop it
You see, you’re just like everyone
When the shit falls all you want to do is run, away
And hide all by yourself
When you’re far from me, there’s nothing else
When your mind’s made up
When your mind’s made up
There’s no point trying to change it
When your mind’s made up
When your mind’s made up
There’s no point even talking
When your mind’s made up
When your mind’s made up
There’s no point trying to fight it
So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I’ll come running
